Hello everybody.

I'm in trouble with IPMI agent configuration, Zabbix v 1.8.1 on Ubuntu Server 10.04.4

I have enabled IPMI interface on a IBM xSeries server and it works great; this is an example using ipmitool from zabbix server terminal:

Code:

ipmitool -H 192.168.255.16 -U user -P password sdr

Trying to retrieve sensors with decimal value data type (like Ambient Temp or AVG Power) it works, but sensors with other data type value (like RAID Error) fail; Zabbix Server log says:

Code:

Parameter [server1:raid.error] is not supported by agent Old status [0]

Working agent example:

Code:

Description: Ambient Temp
Type: IPMI Agent
IPMI sensor: Ambient Temp
Key: ambient.temp
Type of information: Numeric (unsigned)
Data type: Decimal

NOT working agent example:

Code:

Description: RAID Error
Type: IPMI Agent
IPMI sensor: RAID Error
Key: raid.error
Type of information: Numeric (unsigned)
Data type: Hexadecimal

Any ideas?

Thanks
